Just picked up a rocketa 110 for $120 today. Going to be swapping an lifan 125 engine i have laying around in to it soon since I am pretty sure this one is based off of the crf50. Ill get some pictures tomorrow.

Good for you!

katoranger · 11-11-2013, 08:09 AM

You back to Montana now? The engine should be an easy swap for you.

FastDoc · 11-11-2013, 11:21 AM

He could probably do it over dinner and a beer.

Wild_Alaskan · 11-11-2013, 11:36 AM

Is it a pit bike? What size are the wheels?

Wild_Alaskan · 11-11-2013, 12:36 PM

yeah its a pit bike, not sure but I would guess the wheels are 10"

FastDoc · 11-11-2013, 01:15 PM

You will have a lot of fun running around on that.

Wild_Alaskan · 11-11-2013, 07:12 PM

Here are some pictures, I belive I have this model of bike

mine has a 12" 10" tire setup though.

I got the lifan engine mostly installed but somehow misplaced my new carburetor, hopefully i can finish tomorrow.

That puppy should move with a 125cc engine in it.

We eagerly await additional photos.

Wild_Alaskan · 11-12-2013, 05:38 PM

Finished up the motor install today, It not running perfectly yet but moves right along for a pit bike. Going to work on the jetting soon.

Needed to make a little bit of clearance for the carburetor, otherwise the transition was really smooth

SpudRider · 11-12-2013, 08:00 PM

Nice work!

How did you cut the cooling fins?

Wild_Alaskan · 11-13-2013, 02:44 PM

i was going to grind them down with my angle grinder but it was in storage so i ended up using a chisel instead, actually came out really good

katoranger · 11-13-2013, 02:53 PM

The Chinese would have used the same tools at the factory.

Wild_Alaskan · 11-13-2013, 07:27 PM

Fixed my poor running today, I replaced the wiring harness with the one that came with the motor, the other one must have had a short which explains why both motors initially had the same running issues.
